This is a small village near Dover in Kent. My intention is to show some of the Village, its history and the wildlife I find there.

Peppered Moth Update

Having said that I hadn't caught the melanic form f. carbonariaform in St Margaret's, this turned up last night. It is a bit worn, moths do wear out quite quickly, so it doesn't have a lot of scales on its left wing tip, but there is no sign of any of the white scales that give the "peppered" affect that gives it its name. It does have two "headlights" but this is normal in this form. It's funny that it turned up so soon after I wrote about it, psychic moth?
